"The first Singularity has been located. It's France during the Hundred Years' War."
Hearing this, Fujimaru carefully recalled it, but still couldn't remember what stories were involved in the period of the Hundred Years' War. They smiled somewhat awkwardly and scratched their head.
"The most famous figure would be Jeanne d'Arc, that world-renowned saint."
Seeing Fujimaru's awkwardness, Mash offered a reminder.
"Oh! Saint Jeanne! I know her! Although I don't know much about the history of that period, Jeanne is still very famous. After all, this saint appears in all kinds of anime and games, which shows how high her popularity is."
"That's right. Next, we are heading to the period when Saint Jeanne was active, though it is only roughly that point in time. Plus, with the interference from those guys calling themselves Demon God Pillars, I'm afraid the original history is completely unreliable and can only be used as a reference."
"Ritsuka, you should know what the first thing to do is after landing."
Hearing Dr. Roman's question, Fujimaru answered confidently, "I know. I've been catching up on my lessons all these days. The first thing to do after landing is to attempt communication with Chaldea and confirm whether my companions are nearby. If they aren't, and communication fails, find a safe place to hide temporarily, or find a leyline location and attempt to summon a Heroic Spirit Servant."
"Hmm, since that's the case, I'm relieved."
After speaking, Dr. Roman looked at Caelus, who had been sitting on the side without speaking, and asked, "Caelus, do you have any questions about this? By the way, we also want to confirm, are you still able to fight like before?"
"My body is fine, but in the next Singularity, I will likely be targeted, so don't expect too much from me."
Hearing this, Dr. Roman sighed and said, "This is also within our expectations. After all, the strength you displayed in the last Singularity was simply too powerful. If I were the mastermind, I wouldn't be at ease either, so in the next Singularity, they will inevitably take action against you."
"And if you give up on this operation, those guys might target Fujimaru instead, which might be even more troublesome... I'm not saying I want to morally coerce you into forcibly participating in this mission, just stating the cost of going or not going. You should decide this matter yourself, we won't force you."
"It's fine, I will participate in this mission."
Caelus said this, which made Dr. Roman heave a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, Caelus and Fujimaru walked toward the room for Spiritron Transfer. After the two left, the door opened again, and a woman dressed in a classical and elegant style, with a peculiar appearance resembling the Mona Lisa, walked in.
"Da Vinci, why do you keep avoiding Caelus? Is there some conflict between you two?"
"No, no! We don't have any conflict right now, we don't even know each other."
"Then why have you been avoiding him?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to resist seeking knowledge that I can't touch yet, and then die suddenly as a result."
"Huh?"
"I can't reveal too much about this to you. You just need to know that there is something extremely terrifying hidden within that guy, and something extremely special as well. As a genius, I have the instinct and curiosity to explore the unknown, but that is not something I can touch right now."
Roman looked at Da Vinci in front of him, feeling somewhat confused. After losing all of Solomon's power, Romani Archaman, as an ordinary person, simply could not see Caelus's special nature.
[Spiritron Transfer in progress...]
With the System's help, Caelus opened his eyes after traveling through again without feeling anything. He found himself standing in a dense forest, and under a tall tree not far away, a green wyvern was gnawing on a bloody, mangled corpse. Judging by the torn armor, it should be a human corpse.
"Mem."
Mem appeared in a pink flash and then delivered a pink, energetic heavy punch toward the wyvern in the distance. This punch knocked the opponent directly to the ground, and while the wyvern was still dazed from the heavy blow to its head, it was beaten to death on the spot by continuous heavy punches.
After feeding the dropped Silver Embers to Mem, Caelus came to the wyvern's corpse, examined the corpse of the sub-dragon species, and took out his book to draw this creature, which he hadn't seen in the previous few worlds.
After finishing the drawing, Caelus looked at the mangled corpse again.
Caelus picked up a piece of armor fragment and found that the forging of this armor was very poor, and the standard of iron smelting was also very average. The armor this corpse was wearing was full plate armor, in the original history, those who could wear full plate armor were basically not ordinary people.
"No soul. The memories remaining on the body and items don't show much clear information, only fragmented and chaotic scenes, mostly of the wyverns seen before death."
Caelus shook his head. Perhaps it had been dead for too long, causing the corpse's soul to dissipate, so most of the memories couldn't be seen.
"Let's find a way to find Fujimaru and the others first."
In this Singularity, Caelus was only responsible for dealing with the hidden outsider who was the same as him, the rest of the time, he was just responsible for recording this story.
"I hope the distance won't be too far."
Caelus took out a strand of hair he had plucked from Fujimaru's head earlier from his storage space and began to track Fujimaru's presence by relying on this strand of hair.
At this moment, Fujimaru and Mash were running for their lives, because dozens of wyverns were chasing after them.
"Is this really the Anglo-French Hundred Years' War? Why are there so many wyverns!"
Dr. Roman shouted in disbelief over the communication channel.
"That's what I should be asking you, Dr. Roman!"
Fujimaru was running for their life. If it were a dozen or so wyverns, they could rely on Mash's Servant physical abilities to quickly take out a few and scare them off, but with these dozens, there was really no way.
"Damn it, if it weren't for the magical energy supply of Chaldea, which forced Sasaki Kojirou to be dismissed, we wouldn't have to flee so miserably if there were two Heroic Spirit Servants!"
After chasing for a while, the wyverns judged that continuing the chase would be more trouble than it was worth, and to be honest, two humans were not enough to go around, so they stopped chasing and flew away.
Seeing the wyverns leave, Fujimaru collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. Just now, they had almost been unable to hold on, if it weren't for Mash pulling them from the side, they would have already collapsed.
"Senpai, let's rest for a moment. The priority is to reach the leyline location as soon as possible and summon a Servant to help fight."
After resting for a while, the two continued on their journey to the leyline. Not long after they had been walking, they encountered a group of ragged, travel-worn refugees.
After communicating with these refugees, they learned a little about the current situation on this land.
"Huh? What do you mean the Saint Jeanne d'Arc, who was burned at the stake, has returned from hell as an Avenger who commands swarms of dragons, and that these massive swarms of dragons are about to destroy all of France?!"
"Right now, in all of France, only the coastal city of Marseille is still holding out, everywhere else has fallen. These refugees are heading to Marseille..."
"Is this really the Hundred Years' War between England and France? What do you mean the number of dragons in the dragon tide exceeds the number of humans?! Could it be that the Age of Gods has returned here?"
Fujimaru was dumbfounded. In modern times, let alone living wyverns, it would be hard to find even a scale or claw of such creatures, yet now you're telling me there are more of them here than stray dogs on the side of the road!
Help me! Caelus! My dear backer, where have you gone?!
